I’ve posted a few questions about Hyatt but per request of one of the members here is my survey and maybe someone has some suggestions I am not aware of. Thanks!
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Lake Tahoe. Added bonus is Hawai’i. And weekends in San Francisco - last minute on those as im Nearby. Based on my travel frequency it’s possible I would need two timeshare weeks. I’m heavily leaning towards Hyatt high Sierra tahoe summer platinum as my main and maybe two weeks depending on price. Comments/ideas welcome.
essentially I’ve done the math and it makes zero sense under any circumstances to buy a condo outright in Tahoe so I am looking for different options. A timeshare seems to get me where I want but obviously there are intricacies if it - thus tug.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Home resort more than half the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
As above in #1
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself?
3
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
For now any time but in the future the school schedule. So essentially the school schedule.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Sometimes, maybe.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes. Probably 3 full uninterrupted weeks a year plus losts of 3 day weekends.
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
4-5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
10k per unit. 20k for two units is ok.
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
More than enough. More than what most annual fees are. The only issue is I don’t like throwing money in the trash. So not interested in some obscene maintenance fee that is more than or close to renting.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Depends. Wil spend lots of time usually successfully getting good deals at hotels.
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
Yes. I have tried to address this is my other posts. Ideally I would buy something that number 12 does not apply to. My top choice now is Hyatt high Sierra incline village In the summer/platinum. I have heard in theory this should be easy to get rid of.
